      Nowadays you can pay someone to build it for you.

              I've been there once.


              I did however buy a footstool type thing that's quite unusual and well made. Overall though, I would rather poke my own eyes out with a pencil than visit there again.
              Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                    They have some nice cheap things and some crappy cheap things. Problem is, the tulipey stuff is always there but they change the more upmarket stock very frequently. I was there once and a guy was trying to get a replacement cupboard door for a kitchen he'd bought 6 months previous, only the range had been discontinued and no spares could be had .....
                    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

                      You went at the wrong time -

                      Never go at weekends

                      Never go in kids' school holidays

                      Make sure you have an idea of what you want by looking online and in their catalogue

                      Don't worry about parking near the entrance if you can carry the stuff you brought

                      Oh and bring your own bags.
